All of Our Favorite Ways to Cook an Egg

The versatility of the humble egg is almost mind-blowing. While eggs are perfectly delicious with nothing more than a sprinkle of salt, they also glow up remarkably easily, bringing rich, flavorful yolk and hunger-fighting substance to whatever dish you plop ‘em into. They are a breakfast workhorse, and we have gathered up all of our favorite ways to prepare them.

Fried

Whether you like your yolk runny or firm, we’ve got a little something for everyone. We’ve got eggs fried in a pile of crispy cheese, eggs fried in beautifully browned rings of delicata, and eggs with herbs fried right into the whites. You can also up the umami with some tomato paste, or up the carb content by cooking your egg in the hole of a bagel, in a slice of leftover pizza, or in a pile of potato chips.

Scrambled

S

are, in my opinion, underrated. I enjoy small, creamy curds and big fluffy curds, particularly when you add an extra yolk or two. The fluffiest scramble is achieved with the help of an immersion blender, which is also the best too for blending soft cheeses directly into the eggs. Don’t feel like pushing them around in a pan? Decant a cheesy mixture into jars and sous vide your way to velvety egg bites.
